The distinguished and long established firm of Williamson Brothers, Funeral Directors of Birches Head, which spans five generations, prides itself on remaining one of only a few family firms of Funeral Directors in North Staffordshire. Williamson Brothers was founded in 1927 by Frederick Williamson, a local baker, who named the firm after his two sons, George and Cyril Williamson. Fred was a well-known and respected character in the area, delivering bread by a horse drawn van. He created quite a stir when he became the first baker in the Potteries to deliver bread in a Model-T Ford van. When he became a Funeral Director he originally used a horse-drawn hearse. Years later, he broke new ground once more by being one of the first to replace his horse-drawn hearse with a motorised one. Following Fred's death in 1957, his sons- Cyril and George- then took over the business.
